Sweet Cheeks
I’d like to date this drawing
Awww, that’s an awesome compliment! <3
based on a photograph of the flawless human viviandemilo and the theories of judith butler from gender trouble, which you can find as a full text PDF by clicking right here.
This is so awesome! <3 and mmmm I really like that shade of green.
Glitter+leather patches! I’ll probably put some up on my etsy, does anyone have a special request?
Hey lovely people, my PTSD got triggered earlier and I’m still pretty bummed out. It would really cheer me up if you guys gave me some cute/silly/fun/sexay/or-whatever-you-want idea’s to draw! I haven’t been doing enough art lately.
I’m going to put a few pieces for sale in my etsy shop; I need to make me some monies. Does anyone have any suggestions or requests? I never know which ones people would want to buy!
Thanks in advance, loves!
<3 Viv
Help me pick guys, I don’t know which ones I should sell!
That’s it, I need a pair of pearl suspenders.
Eeeeeeee! This is awesome! <3
I want those suspenders hella bad, too. With the little shell clips! So rad.
this artist so speaks to me.
These are so soothing and inspiring. I want to live in them.
Completed line art for a commission. To be colored shortly.
This is what I did today. My hand hurts, but I think it turned out nicely. Give me monies and I will draw you pretty things?
I put some art up in my favorite local coffee shop, Here Comes The Sun Coffee House (located in Montara). It opened about a month ago. The owners are seriously the sweetest, most adorable people ever. It’s my new favorite place to draw.

I had a really interesting discussion about identity, self hate, cultural capital etc with my BFF today and it got me thinking of Margaret Bowland’s selection of paintings of young black girls in white face. When asked to comment on ‘Kenyetta and Brianna’ Bowland that ‘It is a commentary on how women still have to jump through all these hoops to be desirable. These girls are still visible beneath all those layers of crap … they’re still looking back at you.’ I think that a lot of black girls looking at Bowland’s paintings would say that the metaphor transcends beyond the art world. For many black girls Bowland’s paintings are a life metaphor - reflecting a reality where black girls are often marginalised by European standards of beauty. I agree with Cherise Kramarae when she states that ‘For women of color who are viewers, trying to achieve idealised femininity entails not only adjusting or refining one’s body, but also rejecting one’s identity and certain characteristics altogether. To resist this artificial standard is to stand apart from beauty as defined by society’. The frustrating thing for me is that even if you put the fact that there is very little aesthetic diversity across all media platforms to the side, in the black community we impose European standards of beauty on each other with a vengeance. It’s black men that make fun of Alek Wek and it’s black girls arguing about natural hair v relaxer/weave war (e.g ‘These little nappy headed hoes need a perminator’ - Nicki Minaj) etc. It’s this infighting that is the real tragedy.
Somebody told a lie and we believed it.
